Within the darkness
Are the parents of the light
Violent beauty

Haiku
Autumn’s Evolution
In morning darkness
Leaves transforming, preparing
For winter to come
A Haiku About Saturn
Rings of ice dancing
Elegant motion in light
Wandering past stars
Proactively Dealing With Fear
Proactive or not
Fear demands our attention
This calm, Autumn night
Our Delight In CrueltyÂ
Such savage cruelty
That we delight so much in
A brutal winter
In this age we distain grace and compassion, claiming it weak.
A Rainy Night: Tonight’s HaikuÂ
Outside it is dark
Tapping sound from my drain spout
Water flowing down
An Energizing Haiku For MondayÂ
So, I’m seeking out
An inspired, joy filled life
Vibrant energy
I hope this new start, into a new week, comes filled with promise.
Autumn’s GracefulnessÂ
Leaves upon the grass
Trees releasing the summer
Autumn’s gracefulness
I delight in autumn. The leaves with vibrant colors, cool, crisp air. For new, it’s deeply beautiful.
There are times I hate waking up
Dawn’s aggressive touch
Forcing me up from my sleep
Unwelcome, awake
Exploring Downtown Seattle
My home was once there
The outward shape is still there
And yet, it’s transformed
Walking these old streets
Visions of dirty concrete
Echoes of our past
Grime and poverty
Once marked these streets with their truth
Now airbrushed away
Walking with dear friends
Explorations of this past
Amongst my future
